In this video, I'll reveal the skincare products that ruined my skin. Learn from my mistakes and think before you buy!
I discuss my own personal experience with viral skincare products including Medicube Age-R Booster-H Glow Boost, their collagen jelly cream, high percentage niacinamide and more! 😭 #skincarefail #skincaretips

Thank you for the mention, James. It's essential to note that many individuals prioritize maximizing the penetration of active ingredients into their skin. However, I firmly believe that this approach only heightens the risk of skin irritation without delivering additional benefits. Achieving optimal results from skincare is akin to a marathon, not a race. By challenging the skin's natural barrier function, there is an increased likelihood of adverse reactions. As always, I encourage everyone to prioritize safety.

Ever since watching James' videos, he's saved me a LOT of money regarding all the new products flying around on social media. Such a goat 😇

I love how both you and Robert been solving technical problems lately by just improvising instead of desperately trying to produce the perfect video. As a wise man once said: "Perfection doesnt exist" 😉. LYSFM💜

I devised a morning routine that gives skincare products the time they need to settle while not feeling like I'm hanging around waiting:
1) Get out of bed (this is the hardest step)
2) Do skincare up to and including moisturiser
3) Get dressed
4) Apply suncream
5) Have breakfast
6) Do makeup

There are 12 different types of extracts in that collagen jelly including Salmon Egg Extract -- My guess is that you are having a reaction to one of them. The more extracts in a product the higher the chance of having a reaction to one of them. I do some formulating and I never add more than 2 extracts to a product.

Not me sitting here with this Medicube collagen gel creme in my already flared up red face asking myself why I’m getting progressively dryer all while you’re talking about this 😭❤️

I have rosacea and love this type of video! I've wasted a lot of money on (possibly great for others) products that irritated my skin! It's super helpful to avoid triggering products.

' It was winter, I don't know if it was winter but its the uk' comment - good lord Im feeling that now... 2nd storm of the week

[RamatoulieBo]

Yes!! I think so many people are applying sunscreen too soon. I religiously set a 10minute timer on my watch to put time between my skincare and sun care!

Your hair really looks amazing in this, it compliments your features beautifully. This is 💯 my comfort channel at this point. 💖

Thank you for this video! Holy Moly!

Fellow Rosacea sufferere here.🖐️ I have been following your channel especially because you talk about your own experiences with rosacea and it has definitely saved me some money. I was literally just looking at the Biodance collagen masks yesterday thinking I might try it, but now I've decided it's just not worth the risk to my skin. Also hearing about the hydrolyzed collagen and hyaluronic acid is so great to know. I really wish there were more products that DIDN'T contain so much hyaluronic acid, it's in almost every product in some quantity, and I feel like it irritates my skin, so I can't even imagine how bad hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid would be for me.😮

I'm not sure if you've done a video dedicated to rosacea before, but I'd love to know the products you'd highly recommend for it along with the products that irritated it the worst. I've personally found that the Axis-y Quinoa Cleansing Gel and the Axis-y Heartleaf Gel Cream are absolutely amazing for my rosacea, as well as the Numbuzin No 1 Pure Full toner and Sun Essence have been great too. Would love to know your best picks! Much💗!

not your beautiful skin 😭😭😭 your passion for this channel is on another level 💃 hope your skin healed well 🩷

[tebohomaphiri]

James you've greatly contributed to my consciousness over what products I put on my face. And I am forever grateful to you for that.

[Cheyscrochetshop]

Well I stupidly used old zit cream and got a chemical burn 😭😭 so yeah I can relate

[Anelisiwe]

Thank you for the sunscreen irritation tip. Letting all the other products sit and then apply sunscreen makes perfect sense. I'd usually get irritation on the sides of the nose, below my chin, and neck.

[baileydubs]

It’s the worst when your skin flares up and you can’t figure out why! Props to you for trying to do some investigative work on this! I’ve been on tret for 4 years and hardly ever have any breakouts anymore, and the past month the whole left side of my face is broken out and painful. Could just be summer sweating and maybe need to wash my pillowcase more!

[isabellelim]

Basically is the same as the theory of “too much of anything is poisonous”

[NS-zmcv]

I would love to see a vid of what you use for barrier repair

[EdenBeutler]

I wanted to Love the Biodance one SO bad as well! I used it 2 days before a wedding so that my skin could glow, but the day of the wedding I had about 7 new pimples all over my face. I’m 27 and don’t suffer from acne, I will usually see a blemish maybe every one to two months… the fact that I all of a sudden woke up with 7 in places I’ve never broken out before?? Nope!!

Oh the sunscreen on dry skin method changed my skin! When I used it on wet skin it made my rosacea go crazy
